42 or MAYBE 43

I woke early today after a restless night, half dreaming about the History of The World. Travelling to places like Italy, Czechia and Estonia can do that to you I guess, or maybe you shouldn’t mix dark beer with light beer, or maybe I just didn’t drink enough beer. Anyway being unable to set right the follies of earlier times while asleep particularly those enacted by Church and State I decided that maybe 42 was after all the answer to life the universe and everything (please  refer to The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy). Secure in my new outlook on life I decided to have a cup of Nescafe which incredibly has 43 beans in every cup……is the coffee trying to tell me something?

As it turned out we went to see a couple of photographic displays and it seems my restless nights sleep pre-empted the subject matter.

Exhibition 1. Josef Sudek – Topography of Ruins Prague 1945.

Sudek took over 400 photos of the ruins of Prague after the allied forces mistook Prague for Dresden and bombed it in 1945.

 

Exhibition 2. Josef Koudelka: Returns.

Including the events of August 1968 and other works. Being a bit over graphic recordings of futile violence I went for a walk while Jen looked at the exhibition.

This has been a depressing post so…….. to finish on a high, how about the Prague Beer Bike, a multi seat bike where the punters sit at the bar drinking beer supplied by a centrally located bar tender pedalling their hearts out while the driver navigates the traffic.

Or maybe we would be better off arming the Rabbit members of the “Bunnies for Unified National Niceness In Europe Squad” or “BUNNIES” as they prefer to be called.
